I'm putting MSU in the final four, just because I can't bring myself to pick against them. And honestly I think we'll roll over Temple, I don't think Pitt will be tough, Memphis will be a game but it's winnable for an Izzo coached team. The Stanford matchup would scare me, Texas wouldn't so I guess it's possible. Anyone else letting their homerism get in the way of potentially winning pools?

Sweet Sixteen is as far as my suspension of disbelief as a fan can take me. Even that's a tall order, since Kentucky matches up horribly against Stanford in Rd. 2.

If I wasn't a fan I'd probably have them out in the first round, and definitely by the second. Part of being a fan is believing your team can do more than logic says it can, though, so I'm willing to take the bracket hit to put them in the second weekend.

LOL, final four really? It's one thing to terribly underestimate Temple but c'mon now.

It depends on what Louisville team shows up. The team that went unbeaten in February is capable of beating Tennessee and UNC, but the team that showed up in January and vs Pitt the other day would be prime for a first or 2nd round upset. With that said I expect the Cards to be ready, Pitino is one of the best at preparing teams for the NCAA tournament.

Michigan State going to the Sweet 16, but losing a close one to Memphis. But if Memphis doesn't make their free throws, which could catch up to them sometime, MSU could take them out. Since we already beat Texas this year, a final four is not out of the question. But Stanford would be a tough game too...

Temple without John Chaney at the helm is not the same team.

Yet another MSU fan here, I have them going to the sweet sixteen this year.
